The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

Pixelfed got featured on the Wired and here’s what @dansup@mastodon.social, the author of @pixelfed@mastodon.social, says:

All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎

    The photo app that is terrible at telling me what is NSFW and what isn’t.

    Literally, I had a picture on Pixelfed that was marked NSFW and opening it revealed a fucking tree.

    Then I scroll down and I think, “oh it is another NSFW tree.” No it was an image of two people fucking." I don’t care if there is porn but the algorithm to determine what porn is on Pixelfed is shit. Make it work better or just give me a damn toggle to turn it all off.

      Isn’t it the user who decides if their photo is marked as sensitive?

      Ideally there should be no algorithm for this stuff but it would make moderation harder
